FortescueFotheringhamSmyth Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 Hour gone. 3-3. "We-ell, Saint, Croatian goalkeepers..." What a howler. Came for a hanging cross, 10 yards out, surprisingly unchallenged, tried to punch it at chest height, missed and fell over. Rijeka looking quite comfortable until then. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FortescueFotheringhamSmyth Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 They still look worryingly big & strong and technically useful. Might need them to lose their rag. Could we teach Squirrel some Chetnik ethnic slurs in Serbo-Croat before Thursday? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FortescueFotheringhamSmyth Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 (edited) FT: 3-3. At least it's not Dinamo Zagreb on Thursday. 10 shots on target and 18 corners but lacked a serious threat up front... in spite of scoring three. Rijeka three hit 'n' hope strikes. Rijeka are still uncomfortably useful. Hibs outsiders for the tie but it's not Mission Impossible. Being able to make five timewasting substitutions after the 65 minute mark stinks. Three is plenty.

JamesM82 Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 Rijeka will be pretty happy with getting a draw there, as Dinamo almost always win that league. To put it into context Dinamo knocked Spurs out of Europe last season (lost 2-0 in London, won 3-0 a.e.t. at home), and that was against a full-strength Spurs team as winning the UEL was by then their best chance of qualifying for the UCL. Rijeka aren't as good as Dinamo, but that's still a level or two above where Hibs normally are. As for the draw, I think Feyenoord / Luzern would be best. Feyenoord barely squeaked past some Kosovon mob in the second round and if the Swiss upset them, that would be a winnable tie as well. St Johnstone beat them on pens 5-6 years ago. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paok wouldn't be bad either. Greek sides have started really poorly in Europe this season. 2 out of 4 already out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now, now! Phibsborough is a mite down-at-heel (I used to live there) and the Notorious Boo Boys make a lot of noise and make some lovely banners - between beard trims, drinking cups of soya cappuccino and eating avocado toast sandwiches - but the Tallaght mob can usually handle them in Dublin Derbies, so I reckon the CCS will do OK.

Fat Boy Slim was so impressed by this that he got in touch with the Notorious Boo Boys and had a large print of the original photograph made, so he could hang it in his crapper. Bohs have picked up pretty well after a shaky start. Might make the play-offs if they were in the Championship, but L.o.I. games are much slower and more technical than the 2nd tier in Scotland. They are not totally without a squeak against PAOK. Edited August 2, 2021 by FortescueFotheringhamSmyth typo 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For a start the game would be in the Aviva. Last time Bohs Casuals and Rovers mob had a proper dust up Hibs CCS were in attendance with Rovers and got their arses handed to them by Bohs.. As for the hipster pish, it's the drivel I'd expect from a Jambon...And lastly the NBB are not the Bohs Hooligans... other than that you are spot on ha Unlikely we will get past PAOK anyway, a step up maybe just too far..

Yeah... I know all that... I used to live in St.Ignatius Road. I used to walk round the 'Joy to watch Bohs quite a lot in Long's first two seasons. Used to walk down to Inchicore too, but not keen on Tallaght or that mob down there in general and, though Shels is an easy walk, I didn't want to intrude on private grief. Never went to a Bohs v. Rovers game. Seemed very minor league and even then was attracting morons from the UK, Poland and The Lord alone knows where else. You're not that feckin' eejit Fairnie... who remarkably appeared quite normal the one time I met him, 10+ years back... are ye? Your style suggests you could be related. I might get around to drawing-up a list of Hibbies banned as suspected Jambos on Miggs.Net... When I get a spare hour. (I admit I nicked the "Miggs.Net" title from Kickback. It's apt for that forum) Edited August 2, 2021 by FortescueFotheringhamSmyth 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FortescueFotheringhamSmyth Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 Anyhooo... Bohs not likely to get through... and everyone should be concentrating on Rijeka before thinking about PAOK. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it well, lived around the corner and I went to school in St Vincent's.. The morons coming from the UK is not a new thing no, they reckon cause its easier to get away with fighting here because the Irish polis are useless and don't give a f**k ha. Ive seen mobs from Hibs, Bury, Millwall, Wrexham, Celtic, Cliftonville, Man City here just for the Derby.. strange behaviour.. never heard of Polish mobs but there is lots of Polish in Dublin so probably just miss a good football fight and join in ha.. No I'm not Fairnie ha Edited August 2, 2021 by Bohemian 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Les Cabbage Posted August 3, 2021 Author Share Posted August 3, 2021 Load of absolute shite, Motherwell, Celtic and others have all had bigger crowds, 4 days before you’re allowed in nightclubs and at gigs aswell, it’s fucking mental, I dare say an extra few k in the door and we’d have a better chance of qualifying too. I appear to have been successful in the ballot though which is nice. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
